Inverted Nipple Correction
At a Glance
Having inverted nipples can make it appear as if you have a depression or hole where the nipple generally is.
Having inverted nipples can often negatively impact your body image, causing low self-esteem and confidence. It is a problem that can affect both women and men. It can even cause functional problems, including causing difficulties with breastfeeding.
Fortunately, this is something that can be remedied with inverted nipple correction.
Centre for Surgery also offers nipple reduction and areola reduction.
Anaesthesia type: Local Procedure time: 1 - 2 hours Recovery time: 1 weekAbout
Inverted nipple correction is an effective way to boost your self-esteem and confidence and make your nipples appear more aesthetically pleasing.
As this is a surgical procedure, there are chances that rare risks may occur. These include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Noticeable scars
- Asymmetry in nipple size
- Breast numbness
- Nipple sensitivity
The nipple may become inverted again, which will then require a second procedure.
Candidates
All patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with inverted nipple correction.
We do not treat patients below the age of 18 years of age.
Healing is better if patients refrain from or quit smoking.
The inverted nipple correction procedure is performed purely for cosmetic purposes, to help improve your image and self-esteem.
Procedure
How is the procedure performed?
Inverted nipple correction aims to have nipples that protrude just above the areola. Our surgeons can also ensure you maintain nipple sensitivity and the ability to breastfeed.
Inverted nipple correction is considered a day surgery, so you will be able to return home as soon as the effects of the anaesthetic wear off.
The procedure involves gently pulling out the nipple. The fibres that are within the nipple are then spread out, which helps to ensure the nipple has an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The incision is then closed and has dressing applied.
Recovery
Compared to other surgical procedures on the breasts and nipples, inversion nipple correction is relatively simple. Therefore, you will have minimal recovery time.
You will have bruising, swelling and pain in your breasts following the surgery. This is a completely normal side effect. You will be able to take medication to alleviate pain if necessary. It may be necessary to take time off work to help with your recovery.
The stitches will be removed between one to two weeks after your procedure. You will need to avoid vigorous physical activity for the first three weeks.
FAQs
An ideal candidate are both men and women who may have inverted nipples. Centre for Surgery does not offer this procedure to people who are under 18 years old.
Recovery is relatively quick compared to other surgical procedures you can have on your breasts and nipples. You will notice bruising, swelling and may experience pain and discomfort after the procedure. You will need to avoid physical activity for around three weeks.
Any scarring will be more noticeable straight after the procedure, however, this will fade over time.
Risks include bleeding, infection, noticeable scars or a mismatch in nipple size. In some cases, there may be breast numbness or loss of nipple sensitivity, which can last up to a year following surgery.
If the nipple becomes inverted again following surgery, you may need a second procedure.
You will be given an anaesthetic before the procedure, so you will not be able to feel any pain or discomfort.

We searched for many different surgeries to perform my procedure but the center for surgery really stuck out. The staff were incredibly friendly and the receptionist Gregory and surgeon Omar were highly professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Old implants removed and replaced, plus silicone granules removed from right armpit. My previous surgery was done over 20 years ago. (I never really had any breast tissue, so I had the implants to look normal). One implant had erupted and both had capsulated. I was never told they had a shelf life! When I first arrived at the clinic in Watford, ( I never went to th Harley St surgery) I was quite dubious about the whole set-up. The Surgery is right in the middle of a Business Site and it seemed like some sort of Back Street Butchery. (I hope this review will put people's minds at rest when they first arrive) It actually didn't help much that I had to wait an hour because the surgery that day had overrun, however, after talking to Omar Tillo and seeing how clued up he was on my situation, I began to relax. It didn't stop me going on-line to Google him and everything else about the practice, but it was all good. On the day of the surgery, I met with Mr Tillo again. I also met everyone else who was going to be in theatre with me and they all came to me individually to explain their roll. It was very comforting and reassuring. The surgery was quite lengthy and took several hours. I hadn't decided what size implants to go for pre surgery as my old ones were so distorted and out of place, so I left it with Mr Tillo to make the decision once the others had been removed. It is now 3 weeks since the implants were replaced and I am delighted with how I look and feel. The size and shape are perfect for me. Nothing weird or huge; I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so am not looking for glamour, just normality. The post surgery is superb. My coordinator, Naz, is very efficient and can't do enough for me. The incision in my armpit where the silicone particles had to be removed is probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure, but most of you won't have to worry about that. I got a sick note for work purposes without any fuss at all, so over all; worth every penny! Don't let your first impressions put you off :-) Good luck.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks and 4 days ago. It is something I had been considering for a whilst now that I have completed my family. Also the excess skin and fat was getting me down. I went to another consultation in Harley Street which was 15 mins where the Dr examined me and told me he could do the work and his secretary than called me with the price, it was very rushed. I found Dr Tillo searching the net and after reading his reviews I called his office and spoke with Naz, she was very friendly, explained their procedures and arranged an appointment for me to meet with him. I met Dr Tillo in his Watford clinic, I felt at ease with him straight away. Dr Tillo examined me and than explained what the procedure would involve. I had a few questions and he was very patient and explained everything fully and clearly, I never felt rushed at all.On the day of my operation I was excited. Dr Tillo’s staff were All lovely and so was the anethesist who explained everything and next thing I knew I was asleep. When I woke up it didn’t even feel as if though I had had an operation! My husband picked me up , I was given pain killers and it was explained that I would need to keep my compression belt on and drains would be removed after two days.I went home a very happy lady!!!As days have passed I have healed very well with no complications, I am so pleased with my new tummy, I know it’s good esp since my 3 year old doesn’t think there’s a baby in there anymore!I cannot Thank Dr Tillo and his staff enough!!

Dr Tillo and his team are fantastic. Nothing has been too much for them!!I was told my tummy tuck would cost £17,000 at one clinic and £13,000 at another. It was considerably cheaper here. I'm not one to go for 'the cheaper options usually, as I tend to think you would get a cheaper result. But Dr Tillo pointed out that I didn't need all the work doing that the other places had said I did!! They were using my body to make money! Due to his honesty, and his non judgemental view, I left feeling confident that he was the man I needed.I am only a week out and thrilled to bits with my result so far. I can't recommend them enough.
